Labor dispute over trash service in Chino Hills is over

CHINO HILLS - The day-long labor dispute that interrupted trash in Chino Hills among other cities is over.

Officials said Wednesday the strike that began on Tuesday is over and the drivers have returned to work.

For those residential customers whose trash was not picked up on Tuesday, they are advised to put the trash cans away until their next regular trash day, next Tuesday. Any extra trash should be bagged and placed next to the automated trash cans on trash pickup day, according to an email from Chino Hills Spokeswoman Denise Cattern.

An apology was issued to municipal, business and residential customers on the Chino Hills Disposal website on Wednesday.

"We apologize for the inconvenience, and ask that residents with Tuesday collection in the cities of Anaheim, Brea, Chino Hills, Fullerton, Garden Grove, Placentia, Yorba Linda and Villa Park place extra trash in plastic garbage bags and place it in, or next to their carts, on their next regularly scheduled collection day," the website reads.

"Commercial collection will be handled similar as to when there is a holiday. Chino Hills Disposal will service Tuesday's routes, as well as part of Wednesday's routes today, doubling-up on collection throughout the remainder of the week, so that we are caught up with all routes by Friday," according to the Chino Hills Disposal website.
